Home > Polio in Pakistan > Mission & Vision

A future where every child is free from polio.

Pakistan's polio programme exists to stop poliovirus transmission, reach every missed child and protect generations to come from lifelong paralysis.

One Purpose

For this generation and every generation after

Pakistan and Afghanistan remain the only two countries where wild poliovirus transmission has never been fully interrupted. As long as the virus circulates anywhere, children everywhere remain at risk.

Our Vision

A polio-free Pakistan where every child can grow without the threat of paralysis.

A future protected not only today, but for every generation that follows.

Our Mission

Interrupt transmission, vaccinate every missed child and ensure no child is affected by polio again.

We turn this commitment into action through vaccination, surveillance, data and community partnership.

What We Do

Four pillars protect every child

Vaccination, surveillance, evidence and community partnership work together throughout the year.

From Detection to Response

Finding the virus before it finds a child

The programme tracks poliovirus in people and in the environment. This allows teams to identify transmission quickly, focus vaccination where risk is highest and take timely action.

24/7 — Year-round vigilance across communities and environmental sites

Community Partnership

Trust opens the door

Vaccination succeeds when families feel heard and supported. Community engagement is therefore central to ending polio in Pakistan.

Frontline teams listen respectfully, answer questions and work alongside local leaders so parents can make informed decisions that protect their children.

Every conversation builds confidence. Every dose strengthens protection.
Every child brings Pakistan closer to zero.

Our Shared Responsibility

One programme. One country. One goal: zero polio.

Government leadership, frontline workers, partners and communities are working together so no child is ever paralysed by polio again.
